Auditing Context

Automatically load active audit session data when the user is working in the context of a runtime audit.

When to Use

Invoke this skill when the user:

• Is working on code that has pending audit injections
• Asks about audit findings or captured data
• Discusses runtime behavior verification
• References "the audit" or a specific audit ID
• Is making changes to audited code paths
• Asks about injected logs or cleanup status

Instructions

Step 1: Check for Active Audits

Read docs/audits/registry.json to find active audit sessions.

{
  "audits": [
    {
      "id": "auth-flow-001",
      "status": "in-progress",
      "name": "Login Flow Verification"
    }
  ]
}

Filter for audits with status: "in-progress".

Step 2: Load Active Audit Context

For relevant audits, read:

docs/audits/[audit-id]/
├── session.json      # Current phase, target description, questions
├── injections.json   # Active injections in code
└── report.md         # Findings (if analysis complete)

Step 3: Check for Injected Code

If there are active injections:

1. Read injections.json to understand what's currently injected
2. Be aware of which files have audit instrumentation
3. Warn user if they're editing files with active injections

Step 4: Use Context Naturally

Reference context when responding:

• If injections are active: Remind user of cleanup requirements
• If discussing audited code: Reference what was verified
• If editing audited files: Note any pending injections in that file
• If asking about findings: Reference the audit report

Context Awareness Scenarios

User Editing Injected File

Note: This file has active audit injections at lines 42, 67.
Consider running cleanup before making significant changes,
or be careful not to modify the AUDIT-INJECTED lines.

User Asking About Behavior

The audit "auth-flow-001" verified this behavior:
- Credentials ARE validated before database query (confirmed)
- Session IS created after successful auth (confirmed)

Evidence captured in the audit report.

User Forgot About Active Audit

Reminder: There's an active audit "auth-flow-001" with injections
in src/auth/login.ts. Status: awaiting runtime capture.

Would you like to:
1. Continue the audit capture
2. Run cleanup to remove injections

Integration Notes

This skill works with:

• /feature-audit command - Provides context during audit workflow
• /feature-troubleshoot command - Can reference audit findings
• runtime-auditor agent - Shares context with audit operations

Example

User: "Why is there a console.log in the login function?"

Response (after silently loading context):

That's an audit injection from the active "auth-flow-001" audit.

It was added to capture the user object at login entry. The audit
is currently in the "runtime-capture" phase, waiting for you to
trigger the login flow and capture the output.

You can:
1. Run the process to capture the logs
2. Run `/feature-audit` to continue the workflow
3. Jump to cleanup if you want to remove the injections

Warning Triggers

Alert the user when:

1. Editing injected files: "This file has active audit injections"
2. Long-running audit: "Audit started [X hours ago], injections still active"
3. Incomplete cleanup: "Audit marked complete but injections may remain"
4. Multiple active audits: "Multiple audits active - specify which one"

Status Interpretation

Always check injections.json for actual injection state regardless of session status.
